That is probably a good idea. Given the insanity that is the eclipse |
| 6 |
build system, we'll probably try to keep a special version of swt just |
| 7 |
for eclipse in the near-term. |

For all I know, the eclipse team will start building against versioned |
| 10 |
interfaces of the SWT at some point, so that we could build eclipse |
| 11 |
against the 1.0 SWT series. |

I haven't found tarballs of SWT outside of the eclipse drops, so I |
| 14 |
suggest you make snapshots of their SWT cvs modules and start from |
| 15 |
there. It doesn't make sense for SWT users to download the full eclipse |
| 16 |
source drop just for the library. |

As a side note: Most of the java-related discussion happens on the |
| 19 |
gentoo-java@l.g.o mailing list and on #gentoo-java on |
| 20 |
irc.freenode.net. |

Assign the ebuild enhancement either directly to me or to |
| 23 |
java@g.o (I'm the eclipse guy). |
